Summary

This study aimed to develop two poly herbal capsule formulations for arthritis through granulation and conduction of their clinical trial in order to achieve quality, efficacy and safety. Arthritis is a chronic disease of unknown cause. An inflammatory disease of the synovium, it results in pain, stiffness, swelling, deformity and, eventually, loss of function in the joints. Despite early detection, current treatment medications are limited in their efficacy and are frequently toxic. Many patients look for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) options in coping with this debilitating disease. Research has indicated that people suffering from chronic pain, as in arthritis, and those dissatisfied with current treatment are very likely to seek alternative treatments, and an estimated 60-90% of persons with arthritis use complementary and alternative medicines. Among the most widely used treatments are chiropractic and herbal therapies. This growing interest in alternative medical practices clearly indicates the need for more thorough investigation into the safety and efficacy of herbal medicine. Thousand years of traditional use can provide us with valuable guidelines to the selection, preparation and application of herbal formulation. To be accepted as viable alternative to modern medicine, the same vigorous method of scientific and clinical validation must be applied to prove the safety and effectiveness of a therapeutical product.
